Technical Field

[0002] Air is one of the essential conditions for human survival, covering every corner of the earth. The types and quantities of particulate matter in the air have changed. These particles include soil dust, coal combustion, vehicle exhaust, and PM, among which PM2.5 particles are small in size, highly buoyant, and have a large surface area. They can adsorb a large amount of toxic, harmful, and heavy metal pollutants, which can accumulate in the lungs and even the circulatory system, causing respiratory diseases or thrombosis. They can also adsorb a large amount of toxic substances such as organic gases, viruses, and bacteria, and remain in the atmosphere for a long time, affecting human health and air quality. With social development and the popularization of health knowledge, people have paid attention to the harm of fine particulate pollution in the air and have increasingly valued their living air environment and living experience. As a result, air filters have become an essential household appliance, and air filter paper is the core component of the filtration function. In order to achieve the purpose of air purification, it is necessary to invent a highly efficient disinfection air filter paper to reduce the entry of harmful particles into the lungs or effectively intercept harmful gases emitted from the environment.

[0020] Furthermore, the spinning environment described in steps (5) and (6) is a temperature of 25°C and a humidity of 30%.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:

[0022] This invention involves spraying an antibacterial emulsion onto a polyvinylidene fluoride nanofiber composite membrane and then using electrospinning technology to produce filter paper, thereby achieving antibacterial, tear-resistant, and low-resistance effects.

[0023] First, the antibacterial emulsion is a copolymer of an antibacterial agent made from N-(2,3-epoxypropyl)phthalamide, chitosan, N-hydroxymethylacrylamide, and modified nano-titanium dioxide, and acrylamide. Specifically, the epoxy groups of N-(2,3-epoxypropyl)phthalamide react with chitosan to form primary amine groups. Then, under the action of ethylene(chloromethyl)dimethoxysilane-modified titanium dioxide, the amino groups of N-(2,3-epoxypropyl)phthalamide are converted into permanently positively charged quaternary ammonium groups, achieving basic antibacterial properties. Simultaneously, chitosan and titanium dioxide work together to assist the quaternary ammonium structure, jointly enhancing antibacterial activity. Next, the primary amine groups complex with the hydroxyl groups in N-hydroxymethylacrylamide via hydrogen bonds and participate in the copolymerization of acrylamide and N-hydroxymethylacrylamide with modified titanium dioxide, forming a multi-molecular cross-linked structure that enhances antibacterial properties. At the same time, the modified titanium dioxide is uniformly dispersed and fixed on the matrix surface, forming a rough surface structure rich in porous particles, thus exhibiting tear resistance.

[0024] Secondly, the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofiber composite membrane is made by combining a scaffolded PVDF / fluorinated polyurethane fiber membrane with an ultra-fine PVDF fiber membrane. During the spinning process, tetrabutylammonium chloride is added to increase the charge density of the PVDF-fluorinated polyurethane polymer, allowing the long-chain organic molecular structures of the two to interpenetrate the fibers and form a tight connection between the fiber membranes, achieving a burst-resistant composite membrane. It also gives the spun fiber membranes small pore size and uniform structure, resulting in a fluffy composite membrane with high porosity and low resistance. At the same time, the presence of fluorinated polyurethane enables acrylamide to form hydrogen bonds with the fiber membrane, enhancing the interaction between the emulsion and the PVDF nanofiber composite membrane. This strengthens the filter paper's burst resistance even after repeated friction, ensuring the matrix retains strong antibacterial properties and molecular forces. Detailed Implementation

[0063] Table 1 below shows the performance analysis results of the disinfection high-efficiency air filter paper used in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 of the present invention.

[0064] Table 1

[0065]

[0066]

[0067] A comparison of the antibacterial rate data of the examples and comparative examples in Table 1 reveals that the present invention utilizes the reaction of N-(2,3-epoxypropyl)phthalamide with chitosan, and under the action of ethylene (chloromethyl)dimethoxysilane-modified titanium dioxide, converts it into quaternary ammonium groups, achieving basic antibacterial properties. Simultaneously, the combined action of chitosan and titanium dioxide enhances the antibacterial effect. Furthermore, the burst resistance and filtration performance experimental data of the examples and comparative examples show that utilizing a scaffolded polyvinylidene fluoride / fluorinated polyurethane fiber membrane composite ultrafine polyvinylidene fluoride fiber membrane, with the addition of… Tetrabutylammonium chloride increases the charge density of the polyvinylidene fluoride-fluorinated polyurethane polymer, achieving a burst-resistant composite membrane. It also gives the spun fiber membrane small pore size and uniform structure, stacking it into a fluffy, high-porosity composite membrane for low resistance. Meanwhile, the presence of fluorinated polyurethane enhances the interaction between the emulsion and the polyvinylidene fluoride nanofiber composite membrane, strengthening the burst-resistant properties of the filter paper. Furthermore, modified titanium dioxide can be fixed on the substrate surface, forming a rough surface structure rich in porous particles, further improving burst resistance.
